    Nanu..I'm doing great know 2nd week 3rd day I felt a lot better I mean a lot...food was a big temptation when others in family were eating fried food..but I just tried to ignore and try to remember this is how I got that way..I mean overweight...when no ones home its easier...I'm going on my 11th day today and am down like 16 pounds...which is great to me...I weighed 204 arrived at hospital 199 today I'm 187..I'm writing goals on calendar and I'm beating them before all the other diets wouldn't work..I noticed of course the more I walk the more I go down...I guess common sense but 1st week it was hard for me to walk a lot...

    My Experience

    So today is my one week anniversary, and im feeling great..im not 100 percent yet but hey they took out a piece of my stomach what am I expecting to be Superwomen..lol..So I arrived at the San Diego Airport Monday and wa picked up by Dr. Aceves driver Ernesto, he was their prior to me arriving which was great..I went to the baggage area but I should of went to the baggage area like 10 more steps since my bro drove me... I didnt actually arrive on plane...and didnt see where the baggage came from..The first day I arrived the ride I believe was around 1 in a half hour from San Diego..I knocked out, I was so excited and nervous the night before I couldnt sleep so on the ride I fell asleep and was comfortable with by music and glasses...I arrived to the hospital and was greeted immediately, I cant remember the girls name but she was the sweetest lady she walked me through the blood test, ekg (had to take my blouse of felt weird, but got over it fast), then had a talk with another nice lady she went over the procedure and everything else, after care etc, then Dr. Aceves came to greet me, I remember seeing him in pictures so I knew immediately who he was. I also got to speak to the anestegeologist, who was nice and asked me if I had any questions.I didnt really know what to ask besides if they give you the shot in the back, which I had with my 3 kids and HATED, he assured me that the shot will be given after I am asleep, I was so happy... I really hate the way needles feel and that to me was worse than having the kids.a lady also brought this thing that I have to blow for ten days after surgery to prevent problems. I was given a antibiotic and a pill to help me sleep to take at night.I was off to have my last dinner and it was awesome, I mean awesome.I even had some mushrooms, allways loved mushrooms.. The next day I was up at 4 am allthough my pickup wasnt till 7am I couldnt sleep. Then I arrived for surgery, I saw Dr. Aceves and he went over everything for awhile, they put my IV in, gave me blood thinner and then took me to he surgery room, I knoced out and dont remember anything, I woke up not to really much pain, to avoid complictions..I literally slept remainder of the day, they notified my husband I was well, he found out I was in Mexico, and wasnt to pleased so he allready called Nina and told her he knew, what can I say I didnt think he would understand how good Dr. Aceves was just cause hes in Mexico and the horror stories you hear about Mexico..I can tell you the Dr and nurses are attentive daily. So Wed which is my second day had to be the worst pain I had OUCH...still worth it..I felt cold and hot got a fever they gave me meds which lowerd my fever...and they gave me a medication to help me sleep through the night. I also got nautious, I allways do so this isnt new to me..Dr Aceves and Campos visit daily, they also ask if I have any questions, so nice..They also take me for a xray and show me no leakage, so scared to get up, I was fine. So I got a pain killer I asked nurse, Dr Campos came in to take out drain on stomach it hurt me but im a big baby when it comes to foreign objects touching entering or exiting me.. Thursday, Im a alot better I got to eat broth in the morning tastes so good went to the restroom finally, hard for me to maneauver out of bed. I walk around to avoid pain from coming It does help I learned this on the board. I read a little and watched movies. Got ready and packed.I also went to pharmacy to buy medication Nexium is like 30 dollars while pain killers is like less than 15 I think.I also got exit paperwork from Doctors and xray, they said I can go back in 90 days if I want to then off to sleep... Friday saw the Dr Campos.I took a shower and got out and to my surprise I had breakfast a nice soup and apple juice and gatorade, this is usually the meals, love the soup..I was greeted by the Driver Ernesto whom took my bags and off we went to the San Diego airport, I got to see a tour of the Mountains learned alot and loved it, I also arrived 10ish in San Diego. Currently its a week later, I have had back pain from anestesia which is normal I had to read on board why..and figured it out..I cant lay on my left side just yet all the way, I have been resting, I walked alot today though, and am excited about my future so excited, I did light weights for my arms and have tried to drink protein, every day is a learning experience, I am not 100 percent yet but sure feel good..I had a bit of pain the past few days but today im alot better..I went and bought liquid tylenol, not sure if recommended but some times I need it..I had no phone reception in Mexico, gave me time to rest honestly I think it was better without phone...So im looking forward to my future.
